How it works 

🚌  Get on the coach near home then hop onto the Elizabeth Line train at West Drayton. We aim to get you into central London by 9:00AM.

⏰  The times below are when the coach aims to leave each pick up point in the morning and our target arrival time at West Drayton, then the departure time and target arrival times for the evening trip back to Cirencester, Chalford, Stroud and Stonehouse.

👉 Please arrive 5 minutes before the departure time listed. At Chalford and Cirencester the coach will leave as soon as waiting passengers have boarded.

🎟️ The ticket prices are the same wherever you board or alight. This is not a local stopping service (i.e. not for local travel between Stonehouse & Cirencester).

🅿️ If you are boarding in Cirencester, you can now reserve nearby parking (£2.50/day) when you book. 

🚲🧳We can take bikes and luggage! Please just mention this when prompted during booking.

Prices & practicalities

Our standard day return tickets are £30. Once you're at West Drayton, the TfL price cap gets you anywhere in Zones 1-6 for no more than £16.30. If you commute regularly by train, that should save you thousands a year.

You can get a one-way single ticket for just £25 (Stroud-London, morning) or £20 (London-Stroud, evening). If you want to travel to London one day and back another, book two singles.

When you book your ticket, if you're boarding in Stroud, you can add coffee and pastries for your morning trip. You can also help yourself to snacks and drinks on board, and pay via our online honesty box.

If you are boarding at Cirencester, you can reserve nearby parking at £2.50/day when you book with us. Parking is in the Royal Agricultural University's main Stroud Road car park (map link to entrance). Our nearest stop is about 150m walk through the RAU campus at its Woodland Entrance, where there is a bus stop called 'Royal Agricultural College' (map link). You add parking after selecting your ticket, on the same page as breakfast options.

There's USB-charging, WiFi and a toilet on board. The coach has a mix of table and standard seating, and one wheelchair space. If you booked a table seat and a substitute coach means it is unavailable, let us know and we'll refund the difference in ticket price.

If your plans change, you can reschedule or cancel your ticket up until midnight on the day before you are due to travel. If you cancel, you will receive your refund as a voucher that you can redeem for a future booking within 6 months.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your departure time and bring your ticket QR code to scan when you board. It also really helps us if you remember what you ordered for breakfast!

If the onward trains into London are severely disrupted from West Drayton, or returning, we can sometimes provide at additional stop at Uxbridge, on the Piccadilly and Metropolitan Lines. This is not a routine stop. Stay tuned via our Today's Travel WhatsApp (joining link when you book) for any updates.

Terms & Conditions

We want everyone to have a comfortable, safe and enjoyable journey. By travelling with us, you agree to the following:

🎫 Travel Conditions

Arrival times are provided as a guide only and are based on normal traffic conditions. Go Stroud Ltd cannot guarantee arrival times and explicitly excludes any liability for indirect or consequential financial losses, including but not limited to missed onward travel connections, flights, missed business appointments, or lost wages resulting from delays or breakdowns. If your arrival time is critical, we strongly advise making alternative travel arrangements.

All passengers must have a valid, pre-booked electronic ticket and present it when boarding.

The driver will scan your ticket when you board. A passenger representative of Go Stroud will usually be available on your journey to answer queries.

If we cancel your journey for any reason we will give you a full refund. Our liability is strictly limited to providing a full refund of the ticket price paid to us. Go Stroud Ltd will not be liable for any alternative transport costs, accommodation, or other expenses incurred by the passenger as a result of a cancellation.

In the event of road closures, the coach may divert to an alternative drop-off point to help get you to your destination as promptly as possible. In these circumstances, Go Stroud Ltd may offer a partial refund or future travel credit at our discretion as a gesture of goodwill.

You are responsible for arriving in time for your departure. In the event of severe and unexpected disruptions to the Elizabeth Line, we may pause departure for up to 15 minutes to allow affected passengers to arrive.

Passengers under 16 must travel with an adult (18 or over).

Bulky items such as large luggage or bicycles may be carried, but this is at the driver’s discretion.

Go Stroud Ltd (company number 17270695) is the route operator and ticket issuer. Physical transport is provided by a licensed, sub-contractor Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operator. The PSV operator makes the final decisions on issues of safety, weather conditions and diversions if required.

🍴 Food, Drink & Allergens

You’re welcome to eat and drink on board, including refreshments we provide and anything you bring with you.

As a range of food and drinks may be consumed on the coach, including common allergens such as nuts and dairy, we cannot guarantee that any unpackaged food or drink is completely free from allergens, even if they are not listed ingredients.

Please be considerate of others and avoid bringing very strong-smelling foods.

Please use the bins provided and take all litter with you or dispose of it responsibly.

♿ Accessibility

We aim to make our service as accessible and inclusive as possible. If you let us know your requirements in advance, we will aim to help wherever we can.

If you have a Disabled Persons Railcard, you may find that the train service between Stroud and London is slightly cheaper and significantly faster than our service, thanks to the discount provided by train operators.

Our coach complies with the Public Service Vehicle Accessibility Regulations (PSVAR).

One wheelchair space is available per journey. Passengers using this space will remain in their wheelchair for the duration of the journey. If you wish to book this space, please select the ‘Wheelchair space’ ticket when booking.

The maximum combined weight of the wheelchair and passenger is 300kg, governed strictly by the mechanical safety limits of the vehicle's passenger lift.

If you book a wheelchair space, please provide details of the wheelchair (including dimensions, make and model) so our coach provider can confirm it falls within the legal and technical safety dimensions required to secure the chair safely on board using the vehicle's anchoring system.

We are unable to carry passengers on mobility scooters in the wheelchair space. However, small lightweight (Class 2) mobility scooters may be accepted for storage in the luggage compartment. Please contact us before booking with the make and model so we can confirm if it can be carried. The driver is unable to assist with dismantling or reassembling scooters, so this must be done by you or a companion.

For passengers who can transfer to a standard coach seat, wheelchairs may be carried in the luggage hold where they can be safely stored. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept wheelchairs weighing more than 20kg unless lifting assistance is available at both ends of the journey.

Please note that while the coach is wheelchair accessible, it does not have an accessible toilet.

The driver and Go Stroud Ltd team are not permitted to assist with eating or personal care, and cannot lift or carry passengers under any circumstances. We must not take any action that could put your safety or the driver’s safety at risk.

We are also unable to provide medical assistance (such as administering medication). If you require this type of support, please travel with a companion who can assist you throughout the journey.

Pets or animals are not generally permitted on the coach, with the exception of registered assistance and therapy animals. If you are planning to travel with a registered assistance or therapy animal, please mention this in the accessibility details when you book.

Passengers must behave in a safe and respectful manner. The driver may refuse travel to, or require to leave the coach, anyone whose behaviour compromises safety or breaches applicable regulations.

If you cause any damage to the vehicle, you will be held responsible for the cost of repair.
